Curious...

I was bored a couple nights ago, and decided to look up the Canadian accent. As I am a Canadian, not many words sounded different than I would say them myself. I did however learn of some stereotypes about Canadians, and couldn't help but to laugh my ass off. I am very possitive that Matty (tardis-child) is Canadian, since we've grown up with each

Oh my god. You have no idea how hard I'm laughing.

Sap does not simply flow from a tree. It is very thick and sticky. Maple trees are also like the Matt Bellamy of trees. Very small. No, not bonsai small. They do get a good four or five meters tall sometimes, but compare that to our trees that are hundreds of feet tall... They're very small. And you can always hug all the way around them. So, you'd need 100s of them to make maple syrup. Thousands and thousands more to make a business out of it. And, you know, it's not syrup when it comes out of the tree. You have to do a bunch to it. Boil it or something and something and I have no idea how it's made. It's not something one can simply go out and do. It's not like making cookies.

And no, moose tend to live wild and free. Up in forests and stuff. I'm going to say we, even if my island doesn't have any. We try to keep them out of populated areas, as cars do crash into them. They are very large. They can be threats to people, but mainly people are a threat to them. As always.

Ahaha. This ( http://www.bookstore.mcmaster.ca/wstore/mcm/images/catalogue/large/7229370.jpg) is a touque (or toque as it's more commonly spelled) with a pompom on it. I just learned, while looking for the pic, that the pompom is a very Canadian thing for touques to have. Haha. The pompom ones do look better. Something's missing when it's gone. Like a piece of my heart lives in the wooly ball.

For me, no. For everywhere else in Canada. Yes. Most of Canada will start to get snow at the end of October or early November, and it will last until March. Roughly. Here, it really varies, but sometimes in December (we had our first snowfall yesterday. Off and on. None of it stuck to the ground. It's too warm. We're just having crappy storms right now.) or January. Usually January of February actually. Then it's too warm again. Then we might randomly get snow after that, and everyone gets all excited.

I love snow.

Aw :( I didn't think ready made syrup would just flow from the trees but I did t think it would be that long a process with so many trees. But awww Matt Bellamy tree :3 I want to hug one now ^_^

AHHHH THAT THE HAT I MEAN. They shouldn't exist without pompoms though, it's not right.

Still snows more than here :/ Snow makes everything more difficult, but it looks pretty :)
The Canada flag is really cool too :D

I think most Canadians are very experienced with their snow. Here though, since we don't get much. It only takes a little to close the schools. No one here knows what to do. The streets become bare of cars and people. For a bit anyway. After a couple days, people start to stop being scared of killing themselves and go outside again :P

In 1996, there was a MASSIVE snowstorm here, and there was like, six feet of snow! I missed it though, beacause I was in Québec for, oddly enough, their first green winter in over twenty years. I think the most snow I've seen was about three feet, here, which is tons of snow for Victoria. Tons. And it lasted a month. December 2008 all the way trough January 2009. It was intence. Much fun to play around in at first, then a big annoying was of cold stuff for the rest of the time.
